Broken apt Package after apt-get upgrade ?
Hello Folks :)
After the monthly upgrade routine on my network devices I saw an error on my Readynas 202 device:
The APT-Package "nfs-kernel-server" (armel) seems broken after an apt-get upgrade ?
I already tried:
apt-get purge nfs-kernel-server;
apt-get autoremove;
apt-get clean;
apt-get update;
apt-get install nfs-kernel-server
result: no success
Error message:
Product: Readynas 202
ReadynasOS: 6.10.2
Kernel: 4.4.184.alpine.1
Debian: 8.11
Hope someone can help me out of this or can explain me more ? :)
greetings!
Yes, it basically comes down to "don't do that". The ReadyNAS is not a generic Linux system and doing an upgrade outside of the supported OS update path is a recipe for disaster.
In the case of 6.10.2, it is complicated further because the Netgear repository is "broken". See more details here: https://rnxtras.com/category/add-ons/update

FWIW, I passed that issue on to Netgear a while ago. OOM-9 or JohnCM_S - any update on when that will be fixed?
Thanks for your replies :)
And I know "using other upgrade routine alongside FW upgrade" is a bad idea...
But I need some custom Apps on shell and living with risk - have a lot linux experience :)
just asked because didnt know if maybe was my fault (old scripts for example), NTGR or maybe Debian repo got problemsBut now I know and stopped my scripts (which using apt) - not a big deal I dont use NFS anyway :)
